Role
The Senior Accountant is a high-ownership financial professional who thrives on turning complexity into clarity and ensuring that the numbers do more than balance: they tell the story of the business. In this role, you will own the majority of our month-end close process, complete monthly reconciliations across entities and accounts, and work cross-functionally with internal teams. Youll work closely with the Accounting Manager and Controller to ensure clean, GAAP-compliant financials while also helping spot trends, identify risks, and support smarter decisions across departments.
Responsibilities
Month-End Close Ownership

Lead the full month-end close cycle, including journal entries, accruals, intercompany eliminations, and reconciliations.
Ensure timely and accurate reporting of financial results with ownership of critical GL accounts.
Collaborate with the Accounting Manager to analyze trends, identify anomalies, and support operational and strategic decision-making.
Prepare monthly reporting packages and variance analyses as needed.

Reconciliations & Financial Integrity

Perform and review balance sheet reconciliations including bank accounts, clearing accounts, royalty accruals, and intercompany positions.
Manage reconciliations related to partner distributions and sales-to-cash tracking.
Partner with the Accounting Manager to maintain documentation, audit trails, and tie-outs for all reconciliations.

Process Supervision & AP Oversight

Review and improve the corporate card and AP process via Ramp.
Oversee accurate GL coding, approvals, payment timing, and vendor maintenance.
Work with junior team members or external support to delegate transactional tasks, while maintaining full process oversight.

Portco Distribution Management

Manage monthly distributions and equity transactions between Acquisition.com and portfolio companies, ensuring accurate financial treatment and cash movement.
Track and report royalty payments due from Portcos; ensure collections and compliance with agreements.

Compliance & Tax Readiness

Own internal tracking systems for tax filings, sales tax liabilities, and historical project documentation.

System Optimization & Project Leadership

Recommend and implement improvements to financial processes and systems.
Take ownership of project-based initiatives (e.g., sales tax remediations, Portco onboarding, process redesigns).

Ad Hoc Projects & Cross-Functional Support

Support one-time or special initiatives requiring accounting input, including process automation, audit requests, ASC 606 implementation or business model reviews.
Serve as a flexible resource for cross-functional teams needing financial data, insights, or reconciliation assistance.

Requirements

Bachelors degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
46 years of progressive experience in accounting roles, with deep exposure to GL ownership, ASC 606 and month-end close.
Strong understanding of GAAP, reconciliations, and internal controls.
Experience working with intercompany transactions and equity-related activity.
Demonstrated ownership over process improvement and cross-functional project execution.
Strong Excel proficiency (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, modeling).
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills for interfacing with internal teams and external partners.

Results

Timely, Accurate Financial Close: Month-end processes that consistently close on time with accurate reporting and complete reconciliations.
Reliable Distributions & Portco Interaction: Smooth execution of distributions and royalty accounting with clear documentation and proactive issue resolution.
Compliance Confidence: Multi-state compliance issues are addressed with clarity and control.
Efficient, Controlled Payables: Review that Ramp-managed payables processes operate with both speed and accuracy.
Improved Process Infrastructure: Legacy processes are systematically upgraded, documented, and scaled.
